I'm trying to debug some Javascript code inside a JSP page in a web app (Servlets, JSP and JavaScript) I'm working on. In order to be able to debug it I understand I need to check the Debug Web Application (Client side JavaScript) option under Debug section in the Project Properties window.

The problem is I don't have any Debug section in the Project Properties window. I also don't have the JavaScript Libraries section, but I'm not sure whether it's related or not.

What I'm looking for is what is shown here.

Just to be clear, what I need is to be able to debug JavaScript, so if there's a different solution for doing this I would be more than happy to here about it.

If its worth anything I can put breakpoints inside JavaScript, its just that I cannot see any values of variables.

Thanks,

Alon

[EDIT:] As ladar kindly pointed out, the JavaScript debugger was dropped from Netbeans in previous versions (It seems like in version 6.9). As an alternative I use Firebug now.

What version of NetBeans are you using? Javascript debugger was dropped in recent versions (as far as I know 7.0 and newer doesn't support it). So because there is no js debugger, this screenshot is not there because it will always debug server side code

Thanks, I'm using Netbeans 7.01 (latest stable), so I guess I was referring to an outdated article. I guess I'll just use firebug instead.
